Which one of the following is not common between Funaria and Selaginella?
Correct answer: D. Roots
- A. Archegonium
- B. Embryo
- C. Flagellate sperms
- D. Roots
Explanation
Funaria is a moss, while Selaginella is a pteridophyte. Both mosses and pteridophytes have archegonia, embryos, and flagellate sperms. However, only pteridophytes have roots. Archegonium: Archegonia are female reproductive structures that produce eggs. Archegonia are found in all land plants. Embryo: An embryo is a developing plant that is enclosed within a seed or spore. Both mosses and pteridophytes produce embryos. Flagellate sperms: Flagellate sperms are male reproductive cells with flagella that allow them to swim to the egg. Flagellate sperms are found in all land plants. Root: A root is an organ that anchors a plant in the ground and absorbs water and nutrients. Only pteridophytes have roots.Therefore, the correct answer is Root.
